Suzanne and her husband Rob are thrilled to discover she’s pregnant. Rob is a doctor specializing in genetic research, so they run full tests on the fetus. Suzanne discovers that although she has a healthy baby, the boy will most likely be born gay. Rob and Suzanne are no longer thrilled. Do they really want a gay child? Is it better to spare him a life of societal marginalizing?
Suzanne talks to her parents about the revelation and tells them she is considering aborting the fetus, much to the dismay of her gay brother David, whose sexual orientation has never been fully accepted by his conservative family. David cuts off communication with his parents when they can’t deny that they too might have considered abortion under similar circumstances.
Suzanne chooses to have the baby, though this decision leads to a breakup with Rob, who does not wish to raise a gay son.
